These Perfect Champagne Truffles feature a silky, slightly fizzy Prosecco ganache coated with cocoa powder and gold luster dust, making them an elegant and easy-to-make treat for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Prosecco
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • Gold luster dust
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 8 oz (225 g) of dark chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream and ¼ cup (60 ml) Prosecco. Warm over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Do not boil.
  3. Pour the hot cream-Prosecco mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate, then whisk gently until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons (28 g) softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk again until fully incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm but pliable.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop portions of ganache and roll quickly between palms to form smooth balls. Chill again if ganache softens too much.
  7. Place cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each truffle to coat lightly. Then dust with gold luster dust using a fine mesh sieve.
  8. Arrange truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely.
  9. Before serving, let truffles sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Avoid boiling the cream and Prosecco to preserve bubbles and flavor. Chop chocolate finely for even melting. Dust hands with cocoa powder before shaping to prevent sticking. Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
